“The reality of it is looking in our face,” Donovan said. “It’s about how we have to respond to it. We have a long, long way to go in these moments, but this is what we have to go through. … Our guys are playing hard. They’re trying, they don’t give up, they battle, they fight.

And those were four years I’ll never forget, and I thank that organization for taking a chance on me.
“Hard to put into words the opportunities that this place has given us, honestly,” Burton said after the loss. “Super thankful for all the things on the court, but more importantly all the things off the court, the relationships, the memories and the opportunities.”
“We just played on the outside, passed it around, didn’t get pucks to the net or we tried to go across ice and turned it over,” Hagel said. “I thought we were getting in their zone good, pucks in their zone, but we were just wasting the puck, throwing it away.”
“As long-time operators of an iconic professional sports team, the Ricketts family and their partners understand the importance of investing for success on the pitch, while respecting the traditions of the club, the fans and the community,” the statement said. “We look forward to sharing further details of our plans in due course.”
